Get all the resources of a major research university in a small, close-knit department that feels like family. NAME undergraduate classes feature a faculty/student ratio of about 1:20. That means instructors who know you by name and academic advising that’s available on your schedule.
Michigan offers a world-class academic experience that helps prepare our engineers to tackle diverse professional responsibilities.
Modern marine systems integrate precise engineering from many disciplines, all of which must work in a demanding marine environment. That’s why NAME students study not only physical science and math fundamentals, but also a broad range of engineering topics.
- Structural mechanics: Static strength, fatigue, dynamic response, safety, and production
- Hydrodynamics: Resistance, maneuvering, and performance of platforms and vessels in a marine environment
- Marine power systems: Mechanical systems on a marine vehicle, especially the main propulsion system
- Marine dynamics: Effects of vibration, wind and waves on marine structures
Electives cover areas such as ship production and management, sailing yachts and high speed craft, and we encourage our students to broaden their academic experience with classes in the social sciences and humanities.
And because the field offers such diverse opportunities, we highly encourage students to stay an extra year and take advantage of our combined bachelors/masters degree program.
